I know quite a few people have bikes on here?

What do you have (pics welcome) and who actually rides them?

Are you a corner carver?
Do you like to open it up first through 3rd?
Do you baby it?
How often do you ride?
Personally I have a 06 zx10r
Opening it up to its full potential is pretty hard around curves and in a straight. Just so much bike so much power but I do go to my track days and rape pavement.

I have an 09 Buell 1125cr and I ride it to the gym to save gas. I'm older now so I don't haulass like I used to. I will probably sell it so I can buy parts for my mustang.

I have a Zx6r Ive owned for 7 yrs or so.
I put over 20k miles on it. I have always drove it like I stole.
I DD it for a while Now take it out when ever I feel like it.
At the minimum once a week when its nice out.

As I have gotten older I ride less and less. But I still ride like an asshole whenever I get the chance.

Don't have a crotch rocket, just a Honda Africa Twin 750 dual sport Paris to Dakar replica and I rev it to the red line every time I get on it.

I even have a Two Brothers carbon pipe on it. Loudest I could find.

I have a 2005 Yamaha R6. I ride it when the weather is nice which is almost all the time here in SoCal. Still trying to be a better rider, always working on that DRIVER MOD.

Every damn day, weather permitting. I put 10,000 miles on the two in the signature last year, most of them on the Vrod.

I ride mine, like to hit the occasional curve and of course it's a beast on the straight roads.

i have a 2013 zx10r and ride EVERY chance i get. Whether its just to work or to hang out with friends. I have alot of friends that ride and we normally ride 2-3 times a week. I almost died in 2009 in a BAD wreck due to a uninsured motorist but i cant let that stop me from doing something i love to do.

I can't wait to jump to a liter bike, those zx10 are stupid fast. I have a hard time keeping the front end down with my 108whp, I can only imagine what it's like for you!

When I had my ZX6R, I put 8000 miles on it in 5 years. It was my first bike and I taught myself how to ride. Never went down. Several close calls though. Traded it May last year for a Honda VTX 1300C. Put 1000 miles on it in 3 months. Sold it after some stupid b***h ran me off the road while on her phone. I miss riding though, and I've been seriously thinking about another cruiser, maybe a chopper this time. Anybody here ride a hardtail/rigid bike?

DRZ400sm ride every chance I get April-November (yes even in NY)

I prefer carving corners since my bike leaves something to be desired when it comes to top end speed in straight aways (tops out around 95 with 205lb me on it). I like the bike since I actually can ride it to its limits on the street. Wish it had a 6th gear though

I've had a few CBR's and GSXR's.

I am currently bike-less though. I sold my 09 CBR 600 about a month ago. I didn't really ride it much this year, but previous I used to ride it a few times a week. I would just cruise around.
